Frank August Case Study 07: French Connection

Frank August Case Study 07: French Connection is a seven-barrel blend of Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Rye Whiskies, finished in Calvados, Martinique Rhum, and Caribbean Rum casks. Bottled at 107.4 proof, this American whiskey opens with baked apple, pear compote, toasted coconut, vanilla cream, raw sugar, and a fresh agricole-style floral lift.

The palate layers brûléed sugar, molasses, caramelized banana, baked pineapple, clove, cinnamon, and cracked pepper over a rich oak foundation. A long finish of brown sugar, dried tropical fruit, citrus peel, and soft baking spice makes this a memorable pour neat, over a large cube, or in a refined Old Fashioned.
